When
twenty-three year old Tala Velsik appears in a last minute performance art
piece, she has no idea that public nudity will be the least of her worries.
Wearing nothing but silver paint and a pair of antlers, her body is bared to
hundreds of eyes, but one penetrating stare simmers through the others, Adrian
Caro.

Adrian
Caro is one of the world’s most famous directors and photographers, but with
striking features and a body made for sin, most would guess he belonged in
front of the camera.

Of course,
the last thing Tala needs is romance, even with a walking Adonis. Mounting
bills, a dead end job and a set of childhood memories most therapists would
pale at; love is low on her list. Assuming, of course, her new admirer allows
her to have a say in the matter.

Shocked
yet thrilled by Adrian’s passionate domination, Tala can’t help but feel she’s
standing on quicksand. For all his wealth, fame and talent, Adrian is tormented
by his own demons; hiding secrets big enough to destroy them both.

A rogue is slaughtering humans in his territory, and he must eliminate the threat before the entire shifter species is exposed. There could not be a worse time for Abby to accept a job he only offered as a boost to her confidence. Abby is smart, beautiful, and resilient—more than enough to distract any man from the mission. Unfortunately, she may just be the worst enforcer ever to hold the title.

As they hunt the killer, Abby’s secret becomes a threat to Jace’s authority and to her own life. But the real danger is the grip she has on his twice-shy heart.

The first book in a new historical series from bestselling author Tess Thompson, Duet for Three Hands is equal parts epic love story, sweeping family saga, and portrait of days gone by. Set against the backdrop of the American South between 1928 and 1934, four voices blend to tell a tale of prejudice, fear, and love. The Bellmonts are the epitome of the rich and elite in Atlanta society, but behind the picture-perfect façade are hidden moments of violence and betrayal.

After marrying into the Bellmont family, Nathaniel, a former concert pianist who is nearly ruined by his wife’s unrelenting ambition and unstable mind, finds hope in the promise of his most recent protégé. His brother-in-law, artistic Whitmore Bellmont, and the maid’s daughter, Jeselle, have a secret relationship despite their drastically different circumstances and shades of skin. Unfortunately, most of the world disagrees with their color blindness.

All four lives intertwine on a collision course, threatening to destroy, or liberate, them all.
